Verdict

The call

SongShift and Lyrix both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of SongShift's written reviews are positive against 13% of Lyrix's. SongShift also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 7.3K). Lyrix's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
